I used to feel that way about 2.0 after it's release. I know where you're coming from. Just keep in mind no other mmo will be any different. The only reason other games are slower at it is because they're lazy. I have personally gotten used to the treadmill and now I find value in other things, like rare glamour, crafting, gold saucer, all of the side content like hunts. Lots of cool and hard to get items to give you that feeling back.
